Netflix expands its service to 130 countries

Popular video streaming service Netflix has officially launched globally by expanding its offerings to 130 countries.

The company’s co-founder and chief executive Reed Hastings made the announcement in Las Vegas during his keynote speech at tech show CES.

Netflix is now available in more than 190 countries but will still not be offered in China. It will also not be available in Crimea, North Korea and Syria “due to U.S. government restrictions on American companies.”

While Netflix is largely available in English around the world, the company announced today that it has added Arabic, Korean, and Chinese to the 17 languages it already offers.
